A veteran Broward sheriff`s deputy who specialized in DUI cases was arrested on Friday after he was accused of forging names on traffic tickets.

Gary C. White, 43, was charged with five counts of official misconduct and suspended without pay for forging the names of two drivers on tickets they knew nothing about until their licenses were suspended for failure to pay the tickets, the Sheriff`s Office said.

White, an 11-year veteran of law enforcement and a highly rated officer assigned to the motorcycle unit, was booked into the Broward County Jail and released on $5,000 bail, police said.

Internal investigations detectives have no motive for White`s actions, and he declined to discuss the charges with them, police said.
